The Nuggets unfortunately lost a key piece of their rotation early in this game. Starting forward Aaron Gordon left the game in the first quarter with right calf tightness and is questionable to return, according to the team in a post on social media.

Gordon has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, already missing 24 games. The Nuggets are 15-9 when Gordon is sidelined, as he also missed Denver's last matchup with the Celtics. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season, becoming a huge contributor for the Nuggets.
